Default Slipping on floors

So my dog Chibi is almost 8 but I dont think he is old. A couple of months ago I came home and he was holding his right paw up, took him to the vet and they said it was a badly bruised tendon. He was on anti-inflammatories and rest for a week. He stopped limping and I thought he was better but ever since then he seems to be a little slippery on our hardwood floor. We've had this floor for 3 years. He also occasionally holds up that right foot, just for a moment. He's not slipping to where's he's falling over or anything, it's just like he can't get traction when he sits or stands (mostly in the front legs). I've had him on glucosamine/ chondrotin for about a month now. Everything I read about dogs slipping seems like the dogs are really old or have other arthritis issues. Chibi has a LP in one rear knee but no other related issues. The vet didn't say he thought he had arthritis when we went in for the limping. I also thought it might be the hair on his paws but I just shaved him really good on his feet and it doesn't seem any better. Is another visit to the vet needed or is this just something that happens? I hate to think of my baby boy as old
